Early Defined Processes and a Documented Plan Are Crucial in the Commissioning of GMP Facilities

 

Commissioning Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) facilities is a critical yet complex component of the manufacturing sector, especially as facilities grow in sophistication and the standards for quality and safety heighten. Ensuring that clean rooms, HVAC controls, power systems, and other utilities meet stringent requirements is no small feat. Challenges such as permit delays, documentation mismatches, and the alignment of user requirements specifications underscore the need for meticulous planning and execution.

“A defined process and a documented plan that is agreed upon early between the system owner and the execution team are crucial,” Samuel said.
